Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
CINCINNATI, OHIO, July 25.-The great interest
now being taken In the republican state conven-
ton, to be held at Toledo, on wednesday and
Thursday OF this week, WILL without doubt at
tract more people to that city than have attended
political convention OF like character for many
years In addition to the regular delegations from
the cities OF Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and
Cleveland, large numbers will take advantage OF
the cheap rates and go to see the fun. II is
already apparent that Mr. Sherman's particular
friends-those who have commenced shouting,
snow or never."-w1n move on Toledo in such
force OF numbers as TO totally dismay and over
throw what opposition there may exist to making
the State convention for the nomination OF State
Officers. a national one, so far as the Buckeye
State Is concerned. Mr.. Sherman's friends now
say, and upon what is regarded as excellent
authority, that unless the Senator is endorsed by
substantial vote OF the delegates he will retire
from the neld. or, as Others express 1t, Mr. Sher-
man demands an endorsement by the convention,
and, II he don't get IL, he Will ''sulk."
GOVERNOR FoRAKER's POSITION.
Columbus gentleman, evidently well informed
OF the situation 1t really exists especially be-
between Gov. Foraker and Mr.. sherman,
says: "There is no tight ill-feeling between the
governor and Senator. Gov. Foraker long ago VOL
unteered to support the Senator as a Presidential
candidate and Is still loyal to him. What GOV.
Foraker has strenuOuSly objected to was the rush.
Ing In OF the Presidential controversy at the pres
ent time. He has freely expressed the opinion
that to do so would seriously injure Mr. Shernan's
chances when the time came 10 acJ If it did not
prove suicidal Gov. Foraker is a friend OF both
Blaine and sherman and mad he undertaken to
use his influence In the interest the senator In

nor and others, came fresh from Senator sherman
and commenced TO dictate to the governor, II had
the enect or arouSing the Ire OF that gentleman
and he refused TO be driven. As soon as the order
was finally issued by the agents OF Mr.. Sherman

assumed to

and another made the standard-bearer or the re-
publican party in the coming gubernatorial con-
test II is known but too well that this cracking
OF the whip. II not inspired by the Senator himself
was the carrying out OF the program agreed upon
by the managers The leading sherman organ,
the Commercial Gazette, or this city, has toned
down somewhat, and will still more between this
and the convention, the friends OF Foraker will
not quietly submit TO the brow-beaung tactics
adopted In the interest or senator Sherman and at
the expense OF the governor. II is pretty well
understood at Columbus that very racy corre-
Spondence has been going on between the COVER
nor and Senator, and il Is in the air that unless
certain retractions are made the time Will come
when the people OF Ohio shall have an opportunity
OF Judging whether there has been treachery or
double-deal1ng on the part OF the governor"
BLAINRs STRENGTH IN THE STATE.
"Has Blaine really much strength In Ohio?,
asked The STAR correspondent. "Yes he is stronger
to-day than ever BEFORE and by a popular vote
would carry the State against Sherman now.
While it is true that Ohio is inclined TO give
the Senator a solid delegation than on any pre-
viOuS OCCASION il Is equally true that many or his
most ardent friends are opposed TO complicaLng
matters by agitating the Presidential question at
this time, believing IT will prove the Stumbling
block to the Senator's Presidential aspirations
But Mr.. Sherman demands IL, and there Will he
such pressure from the outside that the conven-
uOn will pass the needed resolution but with what
unan1mity cannot be foIeShadowed at this time
Governor Foraker Will not oppose II, neither Will
he advocate the passage OF 1t. In point of fact
Mr.. ShermanS endorsement would be meaning
less, notwithst and1ng the great importance at
tached TO it. The Senator says that II would be
refined cruelty TO longer keep him n suspense and
it is now or never Mr.. sherman cannot Imagine
that the delegates to the State convention from
whom he seeks Endorsement can be elected a year
hence when there Is Presidential issue at stake
Half OF the delegates to the State convention were
elected before the question or Endorsement was
sprung, and the delegates viii vote their own
preferences and not those OF the people. Mr.
sherman will gain, practically speaking, nothing
beyond the approval OF the few hundred in the
convention"
TRICKS OF THE SHERMAN MANAGERS.
A very well-authent1cated rumor is in circula-
tion here to the effect that the managers OF Mr.
Sherman have taken the bull by the horns and
have been secretly at work, with view OF select
ing in advance State executive committee OF
their own faith-men well verSed and skilled in the
art OF practical pOiticS-tO conduct the State cam
patgn. The committee to be selected, IL is un-
necessary to state, was to consist or Sherman
boomers, with the Hon. ChaS. GrOSvenOr as the
leading spirit. II MI. Sherman is properly in
dOrSed the committee would assume control, and
in this manner 1t was believed that the governor
gladly do the bidding Of GrOSvenor, Thompson,
Beatty, and others. Unfortunately for the success
OF this scheme one OF the letters fell into the
hands OF a personal friend or the governors who
advised him OF what was going on. II Is said the
governor was very indignant and caused the in
that he was aware OF their plan OF procedure, but
as he would undoubtedly be candidate for gov
ernOr he would probably have q word to say on
that very important matter, and that the gentle
men need not burden themselves with new re-
spOnslbilities.
A well-known republican, referring to Mr.
Sherman'S going aS delegate 10 the state con-
vention and asking that body TO lndorse him for
the Presidency, said It one OF the most humil-
1attng SpectacleS heard or In political life. The
fact that Mr.. Sherman goes TO the convention as q
delegate from the rSt ward In Mansfield gives
rency to the suspicion that MI. Sherman has
thrown aside his dignlfied reserve, and for time
at least Will 'tgo It with the boys"
